Summary
About Curly Coated Retriever
The Curly Coated Retriever is an athletic, medium‑large gundog with a dense, waterproof curly coat in black or liver. Intelligent, independent, loyal and reserved with strangers, it needs substantial daily exercise, thoughtful training, and moderate, curl‑specific grooming.
About Azawakh
The Azawakh is an ancient Sahel sighthound: tall, ultra-lean and fast, bred by Tuareg nomads for guarding and hunting. Loyal and gentle with family but aloof with strangers, it needs secure fencing, ample daily exercise, a soft warm bed, and protection from cold due to its thin, short coat.
